What did you do to your rig today?

[Newcastle George]

Yes Jon, virtually instant download, but can't find any reference to boost in the turbo specs other than "compression ratio: 3.2 ".

The nice shady site we have at the Milla Milla Tourist Park has one negative which we found out cupla nights ago.... the trees that are giving us nice shade during the day are a magnet for the local flying foxes - large variety.

Thursday night, well actually it was Friday morning at around 0415, we woke to screeching sounds from above us. Initially thought it was Pete the pesky pissing possum & his partner Penelope the pooping possum - had them leave their calling card cupla weeks ago so washed the roof later that morning.

Nah, this time the screeching was louder & more than just a couple of whatevertheywerethingies.

So outside with the torch & it took a little while to see what we were looking for because of their colour, the trees & the dark sky. But once we saw them it was full on war. Out with the slingshot - thanks Kay & Bruce - loaded up with 5c piece sizes of gravel & let 'em have it. Took quite a few practice shots to finally figure out where to aim but managed to hit about 3 or 4 but by that time it was getting a little lighter & they decided discretion being the better part of valor - they pissed off.

Friday night they returned, the scouting mob arrived at about 0130 so we greeted them the same way & they left, then brought their tribe back at about 0430. Out again with the torch & weaponry, aim was a bit better this time & managed to score a few more strikes before they departed, but not before they managed to redecorate the roof of the van with copious amounts of smelly liquid & numerous splatters of - presumably - crap.

This morning was a bit cooler to start with so it was out with the ladder & the hose. The entire root was covered with dead, curled up leaves - about 4-5cm deep - so I was hoping they might have soaked up a bit of the droppings. Nah, not so lucky, blasted them off with the hose which in turn got rid of the majority of the droppings, another 15 mins of blasting did a reasonable job but will need to get into it with a scrubbing brush, elbow grease & a cleaning agent of some sort. The leaves have left a brownish colour up there... probable from the tannin.

The van got a full wash whilst we were at it.

Rob, the park owner said the FF probably won't return as one of the trees in the immediate area they were scavenging has just about lost it's berries they were after. Here's hoping.

Apart from that - simply vegetating.

drive you batsh!t huh?
Knew there was a reason we didnt park under trees.

[Dot]

If you are in a powered site don't worry about the trees, just use the power you are paying for.. But I bet you just needed an excuse to wash the caravan

[supersparky]

How did you both pull up at the end of the day?
Gman replaced the ceiling vent in the bus loo then put the new Konan tv up in the bedroom but no one said you had to have the thing straight in front of you to see it clearly. grrrr now will have to devise something to put the rotten thing on a different angle . Suppose that serves me right for getting a cheapie.

Dot, We have a bracket in the Coaster that allows you to change the angle of the TV up and down and from side to side. It came from Camec I think. Came in really handy when we got a Kogan TV.

[BruceS]

Konan or Conia Dot?
What size is it? We might have a couple (dif sizes) to dispose of.

Stocked the fridge with beer again. Bob's been sitting in the driveway for the past 12 months and the only thing being used is the Vitrifrigo which as usual badly needs defrosting. At least the lithiums keep the beer cold.
